Camp Chopunnish (Long Camp), waiting for snow to melt — Patrick Gass: May 24, 1806
Hunters set out from camp while the party tended to a sick man suffering from a severe back pain that left him helpless. The previous day they had treated him using an Indian-style sweat lodge, and by this day he was showing some improvement, though he remained unwell. The brief entry focuses primarily on the ongoing care of the ailing man and the limited activity of the day.
